.308" by a mile. .300BLK, .30-30, 2x .308, 3x .30-06, .300WM
That makes 9 total by my count. By contrast: 3x .224" 2x .284" 1x of everything else (excluding .22 rimfires and handguns)

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

It's a tie. Two 7mm's and two 6.5's. I sold a 7/08 or the 7mm's would have won.
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

Equal amount of 7 and 6.5's.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

22 LR by a long chalk. Centerfire, 30-06, with at least 7 I can think of off the top of my head.

Almost all my centerfire rifles are .308, it makes my reloading bench much less cluttered and its also much cheaper since i dont have to keep a bunch of bullets and powder in inventory 👍.....Hb

If I include the milsurps, 8mm. Followed by .30 cal, then 9.3mm, then 6.5, then .223, then 7mm.
The 8x57 is the must numerous chambering, followed by the .30-06.

.224 by a good margin. The next closest is less than 1/2 the number of .224 bores.
